This is not a generic optimization that will give real benefits. Your code also relies on the fact that (a<b) always returns 0 or 1. But this is not garantueed. A boolean is defined as 0=false and everything else is true. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
